Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Gather your baking sheets and lining paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced eggplants, zucchinis, and bell peppers with olive oil, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes.
  3. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add milk and heavy cream, whisking until thickened. Stir in mozzarella, parmesan, ricotta, minced garlic, dried basil, and parsley until smooth.
  4. In a deep baking dish, spread a layer of the creamy sauce, then layer lasagna sheets and half of the roasted vegetable mixture. Repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining sauce on top.
  5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10–12 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  6. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure to pat down the roasted vegetables to absorb excess moisture to avoid a watery lasagna. Feel free to explore different cheese options for a unique flavor twist.
